New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation is designed to provide an enhanced introduction to College resources, to other students, and to the surrounding area. We recommend you review The Pathfinder, your online student handbook and be familiar with it before coming to NSO.

All new students arriving at Colorado College for NSO (New Student Orientation) or WSO (Winter-Start Orientation) participate in a huge variety of welcoming activities and orientation experiences. From camping and community service trips, to beginning your academic experience as soon as you arrive – we want you to hit the ground running here at CC. Every year, each incoming class is assigned a common reading as part of your NSO/WSO programming. This year we’ve selected "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption" by Bryan Stevenson, listed as one of the Best Books of the Year by the New York Times and Winner of the Carnegie Medal for Nonfiction. It is required that all incoming students finish reading the book before they arrive on campus, as there will be special NSO/WSO programming built around it. There is an online reading guide for the book, available at this website.
